Feel. Taste. Swim. Awaken.

Welcome to Villa Emanuele

A place to feel at home

The island of Crete is an enchanting holiday destination, exuding a wild, primitive, untamed, and irresistible beauty that captivates the heart of every visitor. Villa Emanuele was conceived by Kriti Ksiraki and Manolis Tzanakis as a place where the visitor can truly feel the essence of Crete and experience its famous hospitality. The villa was completed in 2012 in Modi, perched atop a hillside strewn with olive trees, nestled between the sky and the sea, deep in Nature, inhaling the unparalleled freshness of the White Mountains and sea breeze. Modi was once an ancient city, while today it is a small, picturesque village in northern Crete near Chania.
